On Monday, June 26, “The Price is Right” wraps its 51st season, and it also marks the final time viewers will hear the famous phrase, “Come on Down!” in an episode taped at the historic Bob Barker Studio 33 in Television City, located in Hollywood.
To commemorate the landmark episode, lucky contestants will play classic “Price is Right” games, including the “Grand Game,” which this time only is offering up to $33,000 (usually played for $10,000), and fan-favorite, “The Money Game.” Plus, one fortunate contestant gets a chance to play the very first game ever played on “The Price is Right” in 1972. Along with host Drew Carey and announcer George Gray, all six of the show’s models appear, including Rachel Reynolds, Manuela Arbeláez, Amber Lancaster, Alexis Gaube, James O’Halloran and Devin Goda.
Bob Barker Studio, or Studio 33, was dedicated to the show’s original host, Bob Barker, on March 11, 1998. The studio was the home to such classic shows as “The Carol Burnett Show,” “The Jack Benny Program,” “The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour” and many more.
Beginning in September, Season 52 sees the show spinning the “Big Wheel” east, moving into a brand-new, state-of-the-art facility at Haven Studios in Glendale, CA. The reason for the move is the result of massive construction/renovations scheduled to take place at TVC over the next few years, which will also soon impact the likes of “The Bold and the Beautiful” and “The Young and the Restless,” along with several other popular primetime and cable television shows that have taped at Television City for years.
